About The Independent Movie:

The Independent is an American political thriller film directed by Amy Rice and written by Evan Parter. It stars Jodie Turner-Smith, Brian Cox, Luke Kirby, Stephen Lang, Ann Dowd, and John Cena.

In 2013, Evan Parter’s screenplay for the film ended up on The Black List, an annual survey of the most popular screenplays that had not yet been produced.

Principal photography, originally scheduled to begin in November 2021, was confirmed to have begun the following month in New York City around 24th Street and 6th Avenue.

This is the second time Brian Cox has starred in a production with the word “Independent” in it. His first was the TV Mini-Series (2013) comedy “Bob Servant Independent,” where he played an “ordinary” citizen who decides to run in an upcoming election as an independent candidate.

Kathy Bates was originally attached to play the role of presidential candidate but was unable to due to scheduling conflicts. so Ann Dowd was cast instead.

The Independent was released on streaming on Peacock on November 2, 2022.
